Im 99% sure that they are compatible with each other. not having that would be huge.

I have the HK installed in my 330cd and it works fine.

HOWEVER....

GPS works BUT you have to run through the settings EVERY TIME you start the app (iGo)

ANDROID works BUT it must be rooted, you need to KNOW HOW TO PLAY with Android because you"'ll need to change screen density, permissions, description to be able to install apps from the play store and framework.jar otherwise your GPS will have mph speed all the time, no matter what.

You will NEVER, EVER get any kind of support from the szenco guys, my unit came with a defective long fakra cable (1 wire cut and 1 wire in the wrong position) and the reply from them was "send it back to get $140 shipping costs and no we won't send you a replacement cable"....you're on your own

Bottom line is that if you know your way with android and with a soldering iron and you're not afraid to spend hours flashing things and tweaking them it's a product for you, if you're a "normal" customer then run away from szenco as fast as you can...

Sorry to be the bad guy telling you the reality of things but better be warned now than when it's too late....

i 100% agree. i really just want ///AVIN Android to come out already... but it will be a lot more then this one sadly.

Hey sana_q, exactly which brand and model head unit is the pictured android board? I'm doing a teardown on a EwayGPS EW40, the board looks identical. I've got plenty of hi-res images and video of the teardown.
